Oikophobic bullshit. Imagine if the US gave up on the Cold War and taught all the kids Russian.

No. We taught our kids the skills - mathematics, science - necessary to lead their country into a new day. We would rather breed a new generation of leaders rather than a new generation of bootlickers.

If it wasn't for the Mexican invasion necessitating Spanish classes, more people would be learning a language that will have practical value in an age of increasing Chinese power.

>Instructors and other young teachers from China are being provided to Bibb County schools by a nearby Confucius Institute, one of a number of nonprofit cultural centers partially funded by the Chinese government. Beijing wants to spread Mandarin abroad, and at just $16,000 per instructor per year, the price is right for Dallemand.

Providing they still teach all the other stuff to standard this sounds like a good idea. Learning other languages is never a bad thing and it seems inevitable that China is going to have a bigger world presence in the coming years.

The only argument I see against this kind of thing would be if they were lowing the standards of other subjects. If it takes and our children end up bilingual it will only help them in the future, learning another language isn't the same as being indoctrinated by them, it could even be used to even the playing feel in transactions between the two cultures.

Children who study bilingually have not only higher language skills (in both languages) but better reasoning facilities, on par with those who grow up playing a musical instrument. Developmentally speaking, the ability to translate between broader schema sets results in better critical thinking skills. Furthermore, it is easier to learn grammar when you have another grammar for comparison; it also gives you a reason for that comparison.
tl:dr; dumb people can't even speak their own language.

Anyone that has become fluent will tell you that it requires submersion in the language and culture. They won't get that in the US. Unless you're planning on splitting every class day between Mandarin and English. In which case you will more than likely end up with students that can't communicate properly in EITHER language.

The article clearly states that students from that area already have subpar English skills. Why the fuck would you tack Mandarin on top of that?

I've been learning Mandarin for about 4 years in college. There is a Confucius Institute at my university. The Confucius Institutes are tied to the Chinese government because they issue official Mandarin fluency tests to foreigners. Kids in China start learning English at about age 10 and continue learning into college. We've been pushing people to learn Spanish for so long so we can talk to poor spics. It's better to have our kids learn Chinese so they can at least talk to rich Chinamen. The Hispanics who comes to the US need to learn ENGLISH, not the other way around. The purpose of American students learning Chinese is so they can potentially do business in China in the future.

All that being said, we need to teach these little niggers to speak English properly before any foreign language.

As many anons have correctly pointed out, learning a second language, and especially a useful one such as Mandarin, is a good idea. However, China will implode on itself within the next few decades. Their massive growth will become unsustainable. The one child-policy, with an emphasis on primogeniture- a cultural relic the West expunged a while ago, is going to create a very dangerous gender imbalance.

Unfortunately, Spanish will most likely be the more useful as the majority of our country will be beaners within the next 40-50 years.

If being White is especially important to you, I recommend you leave this country before this happens.
